Secure Coding Practices for Software Engineers Training Course

Rating

9/10

Duration

3 Days

Course Overview

This course is built for software engineers who want to write code that doesn’t just work—but holds up against real-world attacks. It focuses on spotting and fixing security flaws before they hit production. Aligned with OWASP guidelines and industry best practices, the course walks through the most common (and dangerous) mistakes developers make—and how to avoid them through smarter design, better patterns, and hands-on secure coding techniques.

Format of Training

  • Real-world code examples and secure refactoring labs
  • OWASP Top 10 case studies with live demonstrations
  • Architecture walkthroughs with a security lens
  • Group-based vulnerability analysis and threat modeling exercises

Course Objectives

  1. Identify common security flaws during the design and development process
  2. Apply OWASP Top 10 principles in daily coding workflows
  3. Write secure code across frontend, backend, and API layers
  4. Use design patterns that reduce attack surfaces and strengthen resilience
  5. Perform threat modeling and secure architecture reviews
  6. Implement secure input validation, authentication, and access control
  7. Build a long-term mindset for integrating security into the SDLC

Prerequisites
